Has anyone ever written a thesis applying Foucault's analysis of the Panopticon to the design of open-concept offices?

You're not the first one to make the link. :] But I can't remember any specific essays.

It's so obvious that someone else must have thought of it. (I mean, it occurred to me as soon as I started working in one.) But I've never read anything on it.

When you say it, it seems so obvious. But I can't recall have read anything in depth on the topic.

People don't do philosophical analysis of interior design often enough.
